The notes detail experiments being carried out by the Druids of the Flame.
You learn that they have created an unusual pollen capable of infusing dream flora with their flame-imbued magic. The next stage targets the local wildlife with the same pollen.
Q'onzu would definitely be interested in a sample of the pollen and these notes.>

Progress
<Q'onzu blinks slowly as they stare down at you.>
Completion
That...was devastatingly mundane. Soot and ash, forever unchanged?
<Q'onzu shakes their enormous head.>
No. I do not like.
Notes
Head to [60.8, 44.9] and loot the sample.
Return and speak with Q'onzu:
<Q'onzu swivels their head and leans in close.>
There is something different about you, <name>. You've brought me something.
Oh, I do enjoy mysteries!
(Quest) I found this bundle of flame pollen and these research notes with the Druids of the Flame.
<Q'onzu peers at the note, reading it in full before sniffing at the bag of pollen.>
How intriguing! Not only have these druids created a new type of plant, but they are using its pollen to cross-pollinate other dream plants? How curious!
It makes you wonder what kind of effect this has on the local wildlife? Or perhaps a loa?
Only one way to find out, isn't there?
- (Quest) Let's find out!
- (Quest) Wait, hold on!
Pick either option, it doesn't matter as Q'onzu eats the pollen regardless:
- Q'onzu places the Bag of Cinder Pollen and devours it.
- Aviana says: Wait, what are you -- Q'onzu NO!
- Q'onzu says: This pollen....this change...is....is...
- Q'onzu briefly turns orange!
- Q'onzu says: Boring! Predictable! This isn't change! Pah!
- Aviana stares at the Loa of Change in disbelief.
- Aviana says: Have you gone mad?
- Q'onzu says: Sadly, no. But this does change things!
